Amazing location, view and property - great with kids.

We stayed for three nights recently and Valley View was amazing, with great facilities, beautiful view in a great house. There were 8 of us (two families) and we could have stayed for a week. Other than a minor hiccup with power and water which was addressed promptly (and the only downside) we had an amazing time relaxing, playing with the kangaroos and watching the eagles soar over the valley. Would definitely stay there again.

Dear Richard, Thank you so much for your review. We try really hard to make Valley View a place that people love so much they want to return to and even though you did have two small hiccups, thank you for saying that we did address this quickly. I believe our place is unique because of the location, the house itself with all its features and also the opportunity to experience wildlife up close and personal. You are welcome any time and remember to use the letter when booking again for the extra night complimentary when you book two. Warm regards Janine Epere

Perfect weekend family getaway

Stayed with two families with young kids. The house was perfect and pleasantly surprised at how well the kitchen was stocked and generally felt like 5 stars. Quality bedding and extras! Plus the wildlife feeder and provided feed was a great bonus. Made daily visits to the resort facilities - pond, tennis court and pool. Will definatley visit again!!

Absolutely Stunning!

We had the best weekend away at this property. The location was fabulous and the property was so cozy and had everything we needed and more! We were three couples with three toddlers and a 5 month old baby. The toddlers adored hand feeding the kangaroos and the playground. We can't wait to come back in warmer weather too! Thanks for a superb weekend!

Family getaway

Comfortable in every aspect and perched on top of the mountain, this beautiful retreat provided a perfect setting for our family getaway. Despite the rain all weekend, there was plenty to do and the property provided all the comforts, you could ever want or need for a little getaway. With a backdrop of stunning views all around and the company of birds, wallabies and kangaroos, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay and we will definitely be back. Thank you

Mesmerising

Absolutely stunning views. The house was amazing, 5 star touches everywhere! We were so warm and comfortable inside we barely left the house! The kangaroos gave it an extra special touch, my daughter absolutely loved them, lots of cute baby joeys in their mothers pouches. Definitely coming back.

Everything was amazing. Great location and the view was outstanding.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything you could possibly need was supplied. The wildlife greeted us immediately and the Roos were very friendly. The only negative is finding the house. I would recommend offering more detailed instructions on how to find it and a reference to the rough drive up the hike. A larger car is definitely needed.

Hi Sharon, thanks for your review and your recommendation on finding us. We've never had this advice before but will do our best to ensure more details for future guests. We bring a small 4 cylinder up the mountain to clean so I'm not sure what kind of vehicle you drove up? It is a steep climb and we will make sure we make this clearer. Warm regards, Janine

From the moment we pulled up we knew this was a special place, with an amazing view over the valley and kangaroos to greet us. I watched a possum & baby at night and lots of bird life and lizards around.The house was set up beautifully with everything we could want. Plenty of room for 8 adults in the bedrooms, loungeroom, indoor & outdoor dining. Linen, towels, pillows, etc. all good quality. Kitchen well equipped. Toiletries provided and even enough toilet paper We made good use of the pool table and tennis court.Minor inaccuracies in the ad include: Full sized Billiard table is not, but it is a normal sized Pool table; there is no cafe onsite.

Amazing home in a piece of paradise!

I organised a girls weekend away and chose Valley View as our location. No matter how many properties I searched I always was drawn to this one...and for good reason! We were greeted by kangaroos and wallabies coming up the driveway, who didn't leave the whole time we were there and enjoyed waking up to them and handfeeding! There was a beautiful complimentary basket of goodies on the table, wine, cheese, crackers, nuts, chocolate etc. Pantry filled with sauces, oil, herbs, spreads. Beds with quality sheets were amazingly comfortable all opening up to decks overlooking the bush/valley. Plenty of games, pool table, not to mention the amazing spa outside with views. Log fire, ducted air con, spa bath in one of the bathrooms...there was nothing extra we could have needed. We fell in love with this place and didn't want to leave. We have all decided this will be our annual home away from home. Thankyou for such a fabulous stay.

Great for a Womens' Winter Getaway

What an absolutely wonderful destination for our group winter getaway! Our experience at this place exceeded all expectations. One of the standout features for us was the option to have all the King beds twinned, which was perfect for our group. The thoughtfulness of the setup truly catered to our needs. The communication with the owner was fantastic. I had numerous questions, and I reached out through the Stayz app. The owner's responsiveness was remarkable; she promptly addressed all my inquiries and never once made me feel like I was being a bother. She went above and beyond by even providing us with information about a local masseuse, sparing us the hassle of searching online. Opting for the pizza oven option was an absolute win, especially for our first night's dinner. The convenience of having this choice made our arrival so much smoother and allowed us to dive right into relaxation mode. The pizzas were delicious, and the whole experience set a great tone for our stay. When I shared a few minor suggestions with the owner regarding the check-in process, she was incredibly open and receptive. It's evident that she genuinely cares about the quality of her guests' experiences and is willing to make adjustments for an even better stay. Now, let's talk about the view—it's breathtaking. Waking up to such an awe-inspiring panorama and the friendly kangaroos was truly a highlight of our trip.
